Overview of the display
Description of the device
The VRT 50 allows the user to set the room temperature. It also allows the user to control the boiler warm start function. Furthermore, the controller shows you the heating requirements for hot water and operation or any malfunction/ maintenance messages of the boiler.
Operation
- The operating principle is based on a dial (Vaillant “turn and click” operating concept).
- The current room temperature is displayed on the basic display. The hot water symbol is displayed whenever there is a hot water requirement or the warm start function is activated.
- The “flame” symbol is displayed when the boiler is in operation. The “boiler malfunction” symbol is displayed if there is a malfunction to the boiler. Maintenance requests of the boiler are indicated by the “spanner” symbol flashing.
Setting the target room temperature
- The current room temperature is displayed on the basic display.
- Turn the dial (basic display).
- The ACTUAL temperature disappears from the display and the set target room temperature appears and starts to flash.
- You can set the target room temperature directly (after about 1 second) to the desired value by turning the dial.
- The basic display reappears after about 5 seconds.
Activating the warm start function
The warm start function of the boiler can be switched on or off with the VRT 50.
This is convenient for long periods of absence to avoid unnecessary consumption of energy
